We only use 2 colors....Yellow and whits....all the Chief's wear white...everyone else wears yellow....Paul
My department uses white and black helmets and then different colors of numbers. White with red numbers = Officer, Black with yellow numbers = Equipment Operator, Black with white numbers = Hoseman
White- chief and asst
Black - captains
Red- FF
Yellow- Explorers
We keep things simple
White = Chief (Deputies included)
Red = Captain
Yellow = Firefighter
my department has the best way to understand. FIRE CHIEFS:white- Capt.-red,Lt's black- firefighters-yellow.
My old department was Fire chiefs -white capts-black-Lt's yellow-firefighters-red.
white: chief /asst. chief/ fire marshall
red: captians
yellow: lieutenant
black: firefighter
Our Departments helmet hierarchy is pretty easy to remember...

White: Thats the chiefs helmet.
Yellow: Everyone else wears the yeller.
Black: Those are the REALLY old helmets you grab as a last resort lol
In Westmoreland we use Chief and Asst Chief-white with gold, Capt.- white with red, Lt's - red , FF's - black
Structural
Chief and Asst. Chiefs(2) : White
Capt. and Lt's. : Red
FF: Black
Rookies: Yellow

Wildland
Same as above except FF wear Yellow. These are separately issued along with Forest Service style PPE.
Your talking about NFPA standards or recommendations. Ours are Cairns 1044 traditionals, Black.
